Makeup method based on texture and texture map

ABSTRACT

A texture word map is produced by selecting a plurality of texture words to express the makeup textures; classifying the plurality of selected texture words into two types; producing a texture word map by arranging one characteristic in the ordinate and the other characteristic in the abscissa and arranging positional correlations of the texture words one another in the coordinates of the ordinate and the abscissa. A texture image map is produced by overlapping individual images on the texture word map and makeup with a texture is done based on the texture image map.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a makeup method for mapping image expansion ofan image of makeup based on a relation between the makeup and texture aswell as the texture and effectively rendering an image of the makeupbased on the texture, and to a texture map therefor.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, facing, so-called makeup, is composed of broadly threeimportant factors, i.e., color, shape, and texture. The makeup withcolor is based on arrangement and mapping of effects of makeup color ofsuch as a lipstick and an eye shadow applied to the respective parts ofa face, and the makeup with shape is based on arrangement and mapping ofeffects of makeup based on the shape such as the face outline, thepositions and shapes of the eyes, the nose, the lips and the hairline.The effects of makeup based on the color and the shape have beenpreviously disclosed by the applicant of the present invention asresults of investigations, but, with respect to the texture,comprehensive and collective investigations have not been performed yet.The textures of makeup are images of liveliness, vividness, softness,serenity, and so forth which can not be expressed by the color or shape,and expressed with words such as sweetness, feminine, cool/sharp, and soforth and mainly brought by materials of cosmetics. Particularly,recently bright and shining makeup just like brilliant eyes and glossylips have drawn attention and thus the texture tends to be regarded tobe important. Although the relations between the makeup and textureshave been accumulated as practical experiences of individualcosmeticians, they have been neither integrated nor establishedcollectively.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problem to be Solved by the Invention

An object of the present invention is to collectively arrange relationsbetween makeup and textures and provide an effective makeup method basedon the texture and a texture map to be used for the makeup method, whichhave not been proposed yet.

Means for Solving the Problem

Means employed for this invention to solve the above-mentioned problemis characterized by comprising: selecting a plurality of texture wordsto express the makeup textures; classifying the plurality of selectedtexture words into two types; producing a texture word map by arrangingone characteristic in the ordinate and the other characteristic in theabscissa and arranging positional correlations of the texture words oneanother in the coordinates of the ordinate and the abscissa; producing atexture image map by overlapping individual images on the texture wordmap; and performing makeup with a texture according to the texture imagemap.

It is characterized in that the texture image map is examined based onresults of questionnaire regarding photographs of models to whom makeuphas been actually applied in the skins, eyes, and lips to produce threetypes of texture image maps, i.e., a skin texture map, an eye texturemap, and a lip texture map; and makeup with a texture is performedaccording to the three types of texture image maps.

It is characterized in that the three texture image maps are put inorder with words for every image zone to produce texture map tables; andmakeup with a texture is performed according to the texture map tables.

It is characterized in that the texture words consists of nine texturewords, i.e., 1. standard: a texture giving properly covering power andnatural glossy impression; 2. mat: a texture giving solemn, dullsurface, heavy, and concealing impression; 3. sheer: a texture givingtransparent and light impression; 4. pearly: a texture giving delicateand glossy impression just like smooth and luster pearl; 5. dispersedpearl: a texture giving blinking and sparkling impression just likedispersedly existing pearls; 6. metallic: a texture giving stronglybright impression just like the metal surface; 7. glitter: a texturegiving vividly bright impression just like lames; 8. glossy: a texturegiving impression of wettish gloss and damply and strong luster; and 9.foggy: a texture giving soft and powdery impression.

It is characterized in that the textures are classified into threecharacteristics, i.e., austerity, transparency, and gloss, and theausterity and transparency are arranged collectively in the ordinate asa volume axis and the gloss in the abscissa as a gloss axis.

It is characterized in that the individual image is composed of fourtype images, i.e., “cute/pretty”, “fresh/active”, “soft/feminine” and“cool/sharp”.

It is characterized in that the degree of the possible image renderingextent is written on the texture map and the correlation of the texturesor the balance of the texture and image is expressed on the map.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION

According to the invention, the texture map is used as a tool forcounseling customers on actual makeup in shops and effective makeup forcustomers is made possible. Also, the texture map is utilized for imagerendering for giving good texture, and it is made possible for themiddle to elder age to confirm regions of the skins which give goodtexture.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, a preferable embodiment of the invention will be describedin detail. Based on investigations on relations of makeup and textures,that is, how textures work on and affect the image rendering by makeup,the invention gives a map of a makeup image extent according to thetexture and thus makes it possible to easily and efficiently render themakeup image based on the texture. The texture is expressed by 9 wordsand the respective words are defined as the following meanings. Thatis, 1. standard: a texture giving properly covering power and naturalglossy impression; 2. mat: a texture giving solemn, dull surface, heavy,and concealing impression; 3. sheer: a texture giving transparent andlight impression; 4. pearly: a texture giving delicate and glossyimpression just like smooth and luster pearl; 5. dispersed pearl: atexture giving blinking and sparkling impression just like dispersedlyexisting pearls; 6. metallic: a texture giving strongly brightimpression just like the metal surface; 7. glitter: a texture givingvividly bright impression just like lames; 8. glossy: a texture givingimpression of wettish gloss and damply and strong luster; and 9. foggy:a texture giving soft and powdery impression. The nine texture words areclassified into three characteristics, i.e., austerity, transparency,and gloss. Further, the austerity and transparency are arrangedcollectively in the ordinate as a volume axis and the gloss in theabscissa as a gloss axis, so that texture word mapping is carried outfor visualizing the positional correlations of the textures according toresults of questionnaire.

Individual images composed of “cute/pretty”, “fresh/active”,“soft/feminine” and “cool/sharp” are overlapped on the texture word mapto produce a texture image map and make the map usable as indexesshowing the relations between the makeup and textures. Next, the textureimage map is examined based on results of questionnaire regardingphotographs of models to whom makeup has been actually applied in theskins, eyes, and lips to produce a skin texture map, an eye texture map,and a lip texture map. Further, the three texture image maps are put inorder with words for every image zone to produce texture map tables. Thedegree of the possible image rendering extent is written on the texturemap table to clarify the correlation of the textures or the balance ofthe texture and image, thereby enabling makeup based on the texture.

EXAMPLES

With reference to drawings, preferable examples of the invention will bedescribed. First, to investigate how the makeup image was expanded andchanged according to textures, the terms expressing the textures wereput in order. Next, how the textures of the skin, eyes, and lipsappeared and what images the textures gave were investigated and finallycombination and balance of the textures were investigated. To arrangethe terms expressing the textures, words relevant to the textures wereextracted and what kind feelings such words had were investigated byquestionnaire. With respect to how the textures of the skin, eyes, andlips appeared and what images the textures gave, and combination andbalance of the textures, the characteristics of the textures, images,and fondness were determined according to the judgments andquestionnaire regarding the photographs of models to whom makeup hasbeen applied. The questionnaire was carried out for cosmetic techniciansincluding technicians with 8 year or longer makeup experience andpersons in charge of brand products 16 persons; ordinary monitors intwenties and fifties each 30 persons in total 76 persons. The panelistpersons taking questionnaire were all highly aware of cosmetic sense.Each one person in twenties and fifties was selected among models to bephotographed. The model in twenties was a woman having normal skin withlittle skin trouble to express various textures, and the model infifties was a woman having uneven skin with little stain but wrinklesand pores. The photographs were taken basically under natural light andthe angle of the faces was so set as to effectively appreciate thetexture. Further, in order to make the directions of the textures clear,special cosmetics were made ready for the eye color and lip color.

The words regarding the textures were picked-up among words relevant totextures and makeup from cosmetic manuals and magazines. Among thepicked-up words relevant to the textures and makeup, the texture wordswith characteristic difference on the expression of makeup of the skin,eyes, and lips were extracted, and many selected words were furtherselected based on questionnaire for the cosmeticians and the experiencesof the cosmeticians. As a result, 9 texture words, i.e., 1. standard, 2.mat, 3. sheer, 4. pearly, 5. dispersed pearl, 6. metallic, 7. glitter,8. glossy, and 9. foggy, were selected. The definitions of therespective texture words were as followings: “standard” is a texturegiving properly covering power and natural glossy impression: “mat” is atexture giving solemn, dull surface, heavy, and concealing impression:“sheer” is a texture giving transparent and light impression: “pearly”is a texture giving delicate and glossy impression just like smooth andluster pearl: “dispersed pearl” is a texture giving blinking andsparkling impression just like dispersedly existing pearls: “metallic”is a texture giving strongly bright impression just like the metalsurface: “glitter” is a texture giving vividly bright impression justlike lames: “glossy” is a texture giving impression of wettish gloss anddamply and strong luster: and “foggy” is a texture giving soft andpowdery impression.

The texture means that the impression produced owing to the differenceof the properties of materials, and therefore, what kinds of propertiesthese nine textures have were investigated. As a result, it was madeclear that the following three properties were included: “austerity”expressing lightness and heaviness, “transparency” expressingtransparent and opaque degree, and “gloss” expressing glossy or notglossy. Therefore, the three properties were classified into two and asshown in FIG. 1, glossy and not glossy textures were divided andarranged in the abscissa relevant to the gloss, and the abscissa was setto be a gloss axis. Next, the austerity was arranged as light and heavyand the transparency was arranged as transparent and opaque degree inthe ordinate, and the ordinate was set to be a volume axis. Points werecalculated from the results of the word questionnaire for cosmetictechnicians and the results were arranged along the gloss axis and thevolume axis while the standards of the 9 kinds of textures were set inthe center to obtain the word map as illustrated in FIG. 2 showing thepositional correlations of the textures. Hereinafter, the map isreferred to as “texture word map”. In the texture word map, therespective textures were expanded in the ordinate and abscissa, and itmeans that the glossy degree or the volume degree of the respectivetextures has a margin. For example, the textures such as “standard,sheer, dispersed pearl, pearly, mat, and metallic” had a wide margin inthe direction of the gloss axis but a narrow margin in the direction ofthe volume axis. The textures such as “glitter, glossy, and foggy” had,on the contrary, a wide margin in the direction of the volume axis but anarrow margin in the direction of the gloss axis.

Next, practically textures of the skins, eyes, and lips were given andwhat kind impression the faces gave and also how the images wereexpanded were investigated based on questionnaire taken by cosmetictechnicians while utilizing the above-mentioned texture word map. Asconventional experiential knowledge of the cosmetic technicians, whenmakeup is to be done, mat is used for feminine and soft imageexpression, and sheer is used for fresh and active image expression.Therefore, four image zones creating individual images, i.e.,“cute/pretty”, “fresh/active”, “soft/feminine” and “cool/sharp”, wereoverlapped on the above-mentioned texture word map to obtain a maprelevant to the texture images as shown in FIG. 3. Hereinafter, the mapis referred to as “texture image map”. The texture image map was used asindexes expressing the relations of the makeup and textures andsuccessively, the usability of the texture image map as the indexes wasinvestigated according to the results of questionnaire taken by cosmetictechnicians.

The investigation of the texture image map was first carried out for theskin. Based on the experiences of the cosmetic technicians, the textureexpressing the skin base, glitter or glossy was not practical. Thetextures of the skin base presently possible to be supposed according tothe experiences were limited to four types, i.e., standard, mat, sheerand pearly, and other textures were found not usable for skin base. Asthe textures expressing the skin base, “standard” gave a properlycovering power and natural glossy finishing image: “mat” gave afinishing image with powdery skin surface; “sheer” gave a transparentfinishing image just like bare skin; and “pearly” gave a finishing imageof the skin with pearly (gloss) texture. Then, models were photographedafter makeup has been done, and then, the photographs were shown topanelists to take the questionnaire regarding two kinds of items, i.e.,the characteristics of the textures and the images how the photographswere seen. The items of the questionnaire were as shown in Table 1. Theresults were overlaid to obtain the skin texture map of FIG. 4. As beingmade clear from the skin texture map, it was understood that the textureword map shown in FIG. 2 and the skin texture map shown in FIG. 4 wereapproximately coincident with each other in the characteristics of thetexture, except “pearly”. In the texture image map shown in FIG. 3,“pearly” was positioned in the middle in the volume axis, but, thetexture gave strongly glossy and slightly thick impression when the skinwas made up. It was supposedly attributed to that the pearly feelinggave concealing image to the skin depending on the angle since the skinhad a wide surface area. In FIG. 4, the regions surrounded with theelliptical lines show the expansion of the images and the width showsthe extent of the image expansion. With respect to “pearly”, almost allanswers to questionnaire said that cool/sharp impression was given andfresh/active impression was also given, and therefore, the region of theimage was found having an elliptical shape extended in the direction ofthe volume axis and also having a width in the direction of the glossaxis. Accordingly, it could be said that if the skin with pearly texturewas selected, it was effective to render cool/sharp and fresh/activeimages.

Next, with respect to the textures expressing the eyes and lips, FIG. 5shows an eye texture map showing the extent of the eyes and textureimages, and FIG. 6 shows a lip texture map showing the extent of thelips and texture images. The nine textures expressing the eyes and lipsare as follows: standard gives properly covering power and naturalglossy impression: sheer gives transparent and light impression: pearlygives smooth and luster pearl-like impression: dispersed pearl givessparkling impression just like dispersedly existing pearls: metallicgives strongly bright impression just like the metal surface: glittergives vividly bright impression: glossy gives impression of wettishgloss and damply and strong luster: and foggy gives soft and powderyimpression. Then, models were photographed after eye and lip makeup hasbeen done, and then the photographs were shown to panelists just likethe case of skin base to take the questionnaire regarding two kinds ofitems, i.e., the characteristics of the textures and the images how thephotographs were seen. The items of the questionnaire were as shown inTable 2. The results were overlaid on the texture word map to obtain aneye texture map shown in FIG. 5 and a lip texture map shown in FIG. 6.The questionnaire as shown in Table 2 was done by evaluating therespective items in 5 grades. Tables 3 and 4 are items of thequestionnaire for the model in fifties, and Table 3 is relevant to thequestionnaire items of skin texture and Table 4 is relevant to thequestionnaire items of the eyes and lips.

Two characteristic incidents were observed in the eye texture mapshowing the extent of eyes and texture images shown in FIG. 5. One wasthat glossy had a width in the direction of the volume axis. Glossymeans wettish gloss and damply and strong luster and it was derived intwo-ways: in the direction of feeling oil and thus heavy and in thedirection of feeling watery and thus light. Therefore, the region in thedirection of the volume axis was supposedly widened. The other wasrelevant to mat and it gave lighter impression and was thus positionedhigher than that in the texture word map shown in FIG. 2. It issupposedly attributed to that the concealing power of the mat made theeyelids soft and luminous to give light impression when the mat makeupof eyelids was done. Further, the mat image was extended to four imagezones and the region in the tender, feminine image zone was widest, sothat it can be understood that the feminine image can effectively berendered by giving mat texture. Similarly to other textures, sinceimages for the respective textures were extended, it can be understoodthat various ways of rending are possible.

With respect to lip texture map showing the lips and texture imagesshown in FIG. 6, a characteristic texture was sheer. The sheer in thelip texture map was positioned in the direction shifted slightly more inthe direction of slightly gloss than that in the texture word map shownin FIG. 2. It is supposedly attributed to that the natural wettish glossof a lipstick gave luster image. The texture image was expanded in azone from a fresh/active zone to a tender, feminine zone, and it wasmade clear that the lightness of the sheer was effective to render thetender and feminine images. The eye texture map and the lip texture mapshown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are overlapped in the image regions of therespective nine textures and therefore hardly distinguished from others,so that the respective textures are separately shown in FIGS. 7 to 15while the texture images of both eyes and lips are overlapped. When thethree types of the texture maps of the skin, eyes, and lips werecompared with the texture word maps and the respective textures wereinvestigated, the texture words and the texture images by makeup werefound overlapped. Accordingly, it was found that the relations of themakeup and the textures could be expressed by the three types of theskin texture map (FIG. 4), the eye texture map (FIG. 5), and the liptexture map (FIG. 6).

In consideration of the utilization easiness for cosmetic technicians atstops, a texture map table was produced by putting the three types oftexture maps of the skin, eyes, and lips in order with the words forevery image zone (reference to FIG. 16). In this texture map table, thetexture with the widest image region was marked with ⊚ since strongimage rendering was possible; the texture with the secondary widestimage region was marked with ◯; and the texture with the narrowest imageregion was marked with Δ since slight image rendering was possible.Accordingly, it is possible to combine only the textures marked ⊚ forrendering an image and emphasizing the image. However in such a case,makeup image is often insufficient in wide and expanded expression forthe person to be made up and is possibly a lack of balance. For example,in the case of combination of eye and lip textures with mat skin, thefollowing three cases were investigated: makeup was finished entirelywith mat marked ⊚; next, metallic marked ◯ was combined; and finallydispersed pearl marked ◯ was combined. If the point makeup for the eyesand lips was finished on the mat skin with similarly mat texture, threetextures are overlapped to result in emphasis of the feminine image.Next, if the metallic textures of the eyes and lips with strong contrastwere combined, the entire texture was serenity and strong gloss and themetallic texture was emphasized to result in emphasis of gorgeous, cold,and brilliant images. However, there are responses that the point makeupwas too emphasized. Finally, if the dispersed pearl textures of the eyesand lips with weak contrast were combined, the entire impression waswell-balanced impression and the image was expanded in four image zonesto make it clear that various image rendering was possible.

From these results, in collective arrangement of the correlations of theskin texture and the balance of the eye and lip textures, if the sametextures of the skin, eyes, and lips are combined, the characteristicsof the texture are emphasized as they are to result in directionalemphasis of the image. If the textures of the eyes and lips were strongto the texture of the skin, the characteristics of the respectivetextures were found persisting and outstanding. It is supposed necessaryto keep good balance of the intensity of the textures. On the contrary,if the textures of the eyes and lips were weak, it was found that goodharmony and balance could be obtained and positive image was expanded.It was found that if either one of the textures of the eyes and lips wasmade strong to the texture of the skin and the other was made weak, theimage was shifted to the direction of the strong texture. Such acorrelation of the texture and the balance is collectively arranged inTable 5. This balance rule can be utilized for selecting cosmeticproducts and image rendering. In the case glossy marked Δ was appliedthick to mat skin in the tender, feminine image zone, the evaluationaccording to the questionnaire was a dislikable and indecent image. Fromthis result, in the case of using the texture marked Δ, it was foundthat the amount of the use was needed to be slight and proper.

TABLE 5 Correlation of the Texture and Balance Skin × eyes × lipsCharacteristics Skin × same texture × same texture The characteristicsof the texture were emphasized as they are. The direction of the imagewas emphasized. Skin × strong texture × strong texture Thecharacteristics of the respective textures persisted outstandingly Theintensity of the texture should be adjusted. Skin × weak texture × weaktexture Good entire harmony was obtained and the image was expanded.Skin × strong texture × weak texture The image was shifted in thedirection of the respective strong textures.

Next, the case of utilizing the texture map in a shop and performingmakeup of a customer who comes to the shop will be described. In thecase the customer desired to have makeup with pearly skin or to renderfresh/active image, the pearly skin with ◯ mark in the fresh/activeimage zone in FIG. 16 was selected, and to make the pearly skinoutstanding, the sheer marked ⊚ was selected for the eye and liptextures. Combination of the sheer textures which differed from that ofthe skin made the pearly skin vivid and outstanding and entire makeupenergetic and gave a fresh/active image. In such a manner, the texturemap can be utilized from the aspect of the textures of products and fromthe aspect of the images.

The textured makeup for the middle to elder age is as shown in Table 6and with respect to the eyes, the metallic existing in the lusterdirection made even wrinkles luster and although the glitter wasgorgeous, it emphasized the dents. With respect to the lips, along withaging, the vertical wrinkles tended to be noticeable and the glossy withstrongly wettish was easy to smear and the answers to the questionnairesaid that the image was also indecent and filthy. When the makeup withstandard texture was done for the model in fifties, the makeup gaveproper covering power and natural glossy impression and the makeup wasdecent, gorgeous and tasteful. Next, when the makeup was done withentirely mat texture, the makeup gave slight dry but formal impressionand gave a decent and calm image similarly to the case of the standard.When the makeup was done with sheer texture, the makeup gave naturalglossy and transparent impression and the makeup gave a fresh, lightimage as ordinal makeup texture. Finally, when the makeup was done withentirely pearly texture, the entire face became bright like a Buddhasculpture and the aging phenomenon with noticeable wrinkles and poresbecame outstanding.

Based on the results of the questionnaire, the map of the textureregions where the skin of the middle to elder age is seemed to bebeautiful is shown as a texture image map of FIG. 17. It was found thatthe skin and eyes existed in approximately close regions and that thestandard, mat, and sheer textures were in texture regions where theunevenness of wrinkles and pores were not obvious. In the texture formaking the skin seemed beautiful, the essential point was propercovering power and natural gloss. Textures in the light directions otherthan that were improper for makeup for the middle to elder age. Withrespect to the lips, there is a widely expanded adequate region and themat, sheer, and pearly textures and the standard texture in the centercan be exemplified. As a wettish type, the use option in combinationwith lip liner application is widened. However, the texture in thestrongly wettish and strongly bright direction is improper.

1. A method of applying makeup to the skin of a person comprising: (a)producing a texture word map by a method including: (i) selecting aplurality of texture words to express makeup textures, (ii) classifyingthe plurality of selected texture words into first and second charactertypes, (iii) arranging the first character type words in the ordinate,(iv) arranging the second character type words in the abscissa, (v)arranging positional correlations of texture words in the coordinates ofthe ordinate and abscissa, (b) producing a texture image map byoverlapping individual images on the texture word map, and (c) applyingmakeup to the skin of a person such that the applied makeup has atexture in accordance with the texture image map.
 2. The method of claim1, wherein the texture words include: (1) standard: a texture givingproperly covering power and natural glossy impression; (2) mat: atexture giving a solemn, dull surface, heavy, and concealing impression;(3) sheer: a texture giving a transparent and light impression; (4)pearly: a texture giving a delicate and glossy impression like a smoothand lustrous pearl; (5) dispersed pearl: a texture giving a blinking andsparkling impression like dispersed pearls; (6) metallic: a texturegiving a bright impression like a metal surface; (7) glitter: a texturegiving a vividly bright impression; (8) glossy: a texture giving animpression of wet gloss and damp and strong luster; and (9) foggy: atexture giving a soft and powdery impression.
 3. The method of claim 1,wherein the textures are classified into the characteristics austerity,transparency, and gloss, and wherein austerity and transparency arearranged collectively in the ordinate as a volume axis and wherein glossis arranged in the abscissa as a gloss axis.
 4. The method of claim 1,wherein each individual image includes four image types, including“cute/pretty,” “fresh/active,” “soft/feminine” and “cool/sharp.”
 5. Amethod of applying makeup to the skin of a person comprising: (a)producing a texture word map by a method including: (i) selecting aplurality of texture words to express makeup textures, (ii) classifyingthe plurality of selected texture words into first and second charactertypes, (iii) arranging the first character type words in the ordinate,(iv) arranging the second character type words in the abscissa, (v)arranging positional correlations of texture words in the coordinates ofthe ordinate and abscissa, (b) producing a texture image map byoverlapping individual images on four image zones, said image zonesbeing partitioned by the ordinate and the abscissa on the texture wordmap, and (c) examining the texture image map based on results of aquestionnaire regarding photographs of models to whom makeup has beenactually applied to the skin, eyes, and lips, (d) producing a skintexture map, an eye texture map, and a lip texture map based on thequestionnaire results; and (e) applying makeup to at least one of theskin, eyes, and lips of a person, said makeup having a texturecorresponding to a respective appropriate texture image map.
 6. Themethod of claim 5, wherein the texture words include: (1) standard: atexture giving properly covering power and natural glossy impression;(2) mat: a texture giving a solemn, dull surface, heavy, and concealingimpression; (3) sheer: a texture giving a transparent and lightimpression; (4) pearly: a texture giving a delicate and glossyimpression like a smooth and lustrous pearl; (5) dispersed pearl: atexture giving a blinking and sparkling impression like dispersedpearls; (6) metallic: a texture giving a bright impression like a metalsurface; (7) glitter: a texture giving a vividly bright impression; (8)glossy: a texture giving an impression of wet gloss and damp and strongluster; and (9) foggy: a texture giving a soft and powdery impression.7.
